Abstract

In this work, the microstructure, hydrogen storage properties, anti-oxide ability and rate limiting step of Zr(Cr1−xCox)2 (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6) alloys have been investigated. After studying the crystal structure, we found that all alloy samples could show C14-type phase but the alloy sample x = 0 could also show a small amount of Cr phase. Rietveld fitting showed that lattice parameter and unit cell volume of C14-type phase decreased with increasing x. After further research, it was clear that the first hydrogen absorption capacity decreased with increasing x. But introducing more Co content had a positive influence on the effective hydrogen storage capacity and cyclic hydrogen absorption and desorption properties of the alloy sample. We also found that adding Co to ZrCr2 alloy could improve its anti-oxide ability. In addition to this, the rate limiting step model was also studied.
